Due to the design and construction of the tape mechanism, it is essential to feed a certain amount of tape through the machine before the first label. However, by printing labels consecutively, subsequent labels can be printed without this excess tape.

The following methods are useful for reducing tape use:

• Reduce the tape margins.
• Printing more than one label consecutively.
  • Using the same layout style for multiple copies.
  • Using different layout styles.

• Reducing the tape margins

1. Click    on the command bar.
   
   
2. Select [Tape size] - [Margins] to adjust the margin.

 

 

* This is an effective way to save tape although the left margin still remains .

• Printing more than one label consecutively.
  • same layout style  -  Using "Print Options" to print multiple copies of the label.

1. Click    on the command bar.
   
   
2. Select [Auto Cut] and the number of copies.  Click [Print].

 

*The first piece of left margin is cut out, but no left margin is produced in the consecutive copies

 

• Printing more than one label consecutively.
  • Different layout styles  -  Setting the tape margin to "Chain Print". 

1. Click    on the command bar.
   
   
2. Select [Auto Cut] and [Chain Printing] as below.  Click [Print].
